Prior to patrons confronting him and stopping him, a 22-year-old gunman Steven Savage entered an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, just before midnight on Saturday.
He then opened fire, killing at least five people and injuring 25, police said on Sunday.
Adrian Vasquez, the chief of police in Colorado Springs, has named Anderson Lee Aldrich as the shooter at Club Q. Two firearms were discovered at the site, according to Vasquez, and he used a long rifle in the shooting.
In remembrance of the victims of the tragic shooting, Gov. Jared Polis ordered flags to be flown at half-staff at all state-owned facilities starting on Monday through Saturday, according to a press release from his office.
The release stated that flags would be lowered for five days to honor each of the five people who died in this horrible tragedy.
The Polis-Primavera administration will display the Pride flag at the Colorado state capitol for the following five days in addition to other acts of respect and remembrance for the deceased and those hurt in this tragedy.
The shooting occurred on Sunday, the first day of Transgender Day of Remembrance, and it is similar to the 2016 shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Orlando, Florida, which was carried out by a gunman who vowed 49 people were killed and at least 53 were injured due to allegiance to the Islamic State.
